Yorkie Yakker | First scary mom moment!!! 😓😓 help!!? Had to take my two babies Nitro & Bodhi to the vet emergency style... I got home from work and about 10 mins later they started throwing up.... We think they ingested one of my dads Parkinson's medications he might have dropped by accident.... Nitro threw up 7 times and Bodhi threw up 3 times. So we took them to the vet, and he gave them "activated charcoal".... He didn't really give much advice other than to keep them crated cuz the charcoal in their feces stains fabric. Other than that idk.... Any advice would help thanks!! Concerned/stressed momma! |

| Oh no! Praying Nitro and Bodhi recover quickly. Glad you got them to the vet right away. Watch over them closely tonight.

Yorkie Yakker | They're making like a cough/breathing noise... Is that normal for this? Bodhi is curled up and sleeping... Nitro still seems a bit agitated & uncomfortable. Doesn't really want touched & won't really relax to lay down and sleep like normal. Just keeps looking around. |

| I hope your babies will be OK....when my momma was alive, we had a HARD and FAST rule....NO medications anywhere in the house except HER bedroom and the kitchen, PERIOD. Those were areas where the dogs were not allowed to go, ever. When we have company, purses go in the laundry room, on top of the washing machine. If anyone has an aversion to that, they are encouraged to just leave their purses in the trunk of their car! I have way toooooooo many senior citizens, on many, many medications, loaded up in purses....I cant not have purses accessable to my dogs. My Aunt Gladys was REALLY adverse to separating from her purse....she always put it on the floor right by her chair.....you would have thought she had Fort Knox in that purse, and she was entering a den of thieves!........nothing I could politely say or do would convenience her to put her purse up on a counter or on the washing machine.....until one of the males hiked his leg on her purse and he peed in her purse! She NEVER showed up with her purse again, expecting to set it on the floor by her chair....she always put it up on the washing machine from then on!!! Praying for your babies.... |

| I am much more careful about my medication after I found a sticky, gummed up gabapentin capsule on the bathroom floor a few months ago. I'm not sure whether it was gummed by Bella or Foxy (our cat), but whoever it was, fortunately they had the sense not to swallow the capsule. I remember dropping the capsule and not being able to find it. I'm much more careful now. |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | I take my meds in the bathroom with the door closed as I too have found that I have dropped a pill on occasion and while my dogs know Leave It I don't fully trust that they would never break that command

Yorkie Yakker | Soo... Now I'm worried I have another problem.... They've both been eating & drinking.... But Bodhi threw up after eating twice now again. They play fine afterwards & play fight. Nitro hasn't thrown up since the other day. But I'm concerned it's something different and hoping it's not contagious. I don't know why he throws up right after eating. |

| When my 11 yr old yorkie was sickly I would give him a raw egg and he would perk right up, settled his stomach. Maybe if you scrambled a raw egg on a paper plate and let them lick a little it would help them, eggs wouldn't hurt them plus its good for their hair. |
